text: Washington, D.C. metro &#x2F; Remote<p>We have developed a SaaS application that provides e-commerce capabilities, product sales on a subscription basis, and recurring billing capabilities. The application utilizes Stripe and the Stripe API (v3) to process payments.<p>Stripe payment processing is integrated and nearly feature complete. However, Stripe Connect is not currently integrated. We are seeking support in the following capacity:<p><pre><code>  - Consult on best practices for Stripe integration, including Stripe Connect.
  - Provide implementation services for Stripe Connect
  - Potential review and remediation of existing Stripe implementation.
</code></pre>
This engagement could be one or all of the above. However, our primary need in in understanding Stripe Connect and the best approach to integrate it into the application. We are open to other areas of advisement in the use of Stripe.<p>The application is built on top of a LAMP stack using concrete5 as the framework. concrete5 is an MVC framework that is very similar to Laravel or Symfony. We can provide any level of support and guidance to the developer for both the framework and application.<p>Other ongoing opportunities are in the queue for continued development of this application.<p>Contact: notify@blueatlas.com

text: Remote - Designer<p>I’m looking for an independent&#x2F;freelance designer. I run a small consulting &amp; development company, and we occasionally have need for ‘design’ type work on both internal and client projects. It’s not enough to warrant a full time position, but I need to be able to rely on someone when we do need something done.<p>Sometimes this will be small jobs to fix&#x2F;adjust something that a client’s designer provided. Other times it will be start-to-finish design on large projects.<p>Ideally, I’d like you to be able to handle any of the following:<p>- Rough sketches of ideas (could be on paper or digital)<p>- Conversion of paper sketches (either yours or others) into digital sketches<p>- Creating vector artwork to allow scalable designs<p>- Converting existing bitmap artwork into vectors<p>I’m sure there will be other things I’ll ask about, but that’s the key things that I’m trying to get done recently&#x2F;right now.<p>To clarify: this isn’t a one-off job, but it isn’t a full-time gig either. I’m looking for a designer I can depend on to get jobs done in a reasonable time-frame, when I need it. How that works in terms of billing is pretty flexible.<p>I don’t mind where you live or where you work from. If you’re living in&#x2F;visiting Thailand, I’d love to catch up for a coffee, but otherwise I’d expect to converse via email, IM or VoIP calls.<p>I <i>might</i> consider small agency type companies for this, <i>IF</i> you can guarantee me I’ll have direct access to one or two consistent designers, and not just a black box of ‘design magic’ with a PM in the middle playing Chinese whispers.<p>If you’re interested or just want to know more, email me stephen@koalephant.com<p>Edit: <i>PLEASE</i> make sure you mention seeing this post on HN, because honestly I&#x27;m looking at an email right now that I can&#x27;t tell if it&#x27;s a response to this post or random-chance spam.
